Description
We leave the Main Square – town fountain – through the Verderber and Znaimer Gate. At the junction in front of us is a fork; we take the left – into Fladnitzerstraße – towards Hardegg. After about 200 m we turn right into the rural shopping street Lange Zeile. At the end of Lange Zeile begins the Wine Hiking Trail, which takes us through rolling vineyards, past a varietal wine garden, up to Altenberg. Past the Winemaker’s House at Altenberg, towards the railway crossing, turn right, we hike along the Setzberg back to the town. The path leads into Lange Zeile, where the Old Town tavern (Fam. Lehninger, Lange Zeile No.33) invites you to stop for a drink.
